⚡ Gemini CLI + Selenium Java (2025): The Terminal-First Testing Revolution

🎬 Introduction: Ditch the IDE, Keep the Power
Why wait for a sluggish IDE to load when you can spin up an entire Selenium Java framework from your terminal? Gemini CLI makes browser automation lightweight, fast, and portable. Whether you’re working from VS Code, a CI pipeline, or your favorite Linux terminal—this tool has your back.

Let’s break it down: how to create, run, screenshot, and report your Selenium tests without even touching an IDE.

🎯 What Is Gemini CLI?
Gemini CLI is a command-line tool built for developers and testers who want speed, portability, and automation power without depending on bloated IDE setups.

With just a few commands, you can:

🏗️ Generate a ready-to-use folder structure for Selenium Java

🧪 Compile and execute your test suites

📸 Capture failure screenshots automatically

📊 Generate HTML and XML reports for sharing or CI pipelines

It’s like having a full test automation IDE—except it fits in your terminal window.

⚙️ Key Features & Folder Structure
📁 Auto-Generated Framework in Seconds
Just run:

gemini create framework
And you’ll instantly get:

src/main/java: Page objects, utilities, base classes

src/test/java: TestNG/JUnit test classes

resources: Configs like config.properties, drivers

reports/screenshots: Screenshots of failed steps or assertions

It’s all structured, clean, and ready for action.

▶️ Run Your Tests with One Command

gemini run tests --suite regression
Gemini CLI will:

Compile your Maven or Gradle test suite

Launch ChromeDriver or GeckoDriver

Execute your tests and log results

Automatically grab screenshots if anything fails

Clean. Fast. No IDE required.

📸 Auto Screenshot Capture on Failures
Every test failure is instantly documented with a screenshot. These get saved in:
reports/screenshots/testName-timestamp.png
You can also trigger screenshots manually in your test logic if needed.

📊 Report Generation Made Easy
After running your tests, just run:

gemini generate reports
Boom—beautiful HTML and JUnit-style XML reports are generated in reports/index.html. Ready for CI, email, or Slack drop-ins.

💡 Step-by-Step Setup Guide
Install Gemini CLI
npm install -g @gemini/cli
Scaffold Your Framework
gemini create framework --language java
cd my-framework
Configure Your Environment

Set base URL and other variables in resources/config.properties

Add Selenium and TestNG dependencies in pom.xml or build.gradle

Write Your First Test
@Test
public void testHomepageTitle() {
driver.get(config.getBaseUrl());
Assert.assertEquals(driver.getTitle(), "Home | MyApp");
}
Run and Report
gemini run tests --suite smoke
gemini generate reports
View Artifacts

Open reports/index.html for results

Review screenshots in reports/screenshots
